Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS) provides services to enable the creation of information protection solutions. AD RMS is a format- and application-independent technology that can be used with any AD RMS-enabled application to provide persistent usage policies for sensitive information.

The Active Directory Rights Management Service (AD RMS) logging service runs on each server in an AD RMS cluster and sends logging information to the logging database. This information is used by AD RMS to generate reports from within the Active Directory Rights Management Services console.
